CTO As A Service

Fractional technical leadership for growing brands that need senior strategic oversight without the cost of a full-time CTO hire.

Senior engineers only, no subcontractors

Growing commerce brands hit the same wall: technology decisions that used to be simple — which platform, which integration, which agency to trust — start carrying real financial risk, and there’s no senior technical voice in the room who isn’t also trying to sell you the solution.

Before and after

The gap isn’t a lack of developers. It’s a lack of anyone independent enough to tell you the truth about what you actually need.

Without senior technical leadership

  • Vendor-driven decisions — the agency building your platform is also the one recommending whether you need more from that agency.
  • Reactive technology spend — problems get expensive fixes after they’re already problems, not prevented before they start.

With a Fractional CTO

  • Independent recommendations — advice that isn’t tied to whoever’s currently building for you.
  • Budget-proportionate oversight — senior strategic input at a fraction of a full-time CTO’s salary, scaled to what you actually need.

Where this fits

Most valuable when technology decisions have gotten too consequential to make without senior oversight, but not yet consequential enough to justify a full-time hire — a platform migration, an integration overhaul, or simply too many vendors with no one coordinating them. If you already have strong in-house technical leadership, you probably don’t need this.

Track record

Fractional technical leadership from someone who's spent 15+ years building and shipping commerce platforms directly — not managing a team who does.
